Chapter 49 Journey to Egypt

The beef with a sufficient amount and no fishy smell and the rice with the right hardness collide between the lips and teeth.

The rice steamed with vegetable juice provides nutrition without affecting the pleasure of eating meat, and the black pepper sauce adds a soul-like embellishment to the rice ball.

All the ingredients of the rice ball are perfectly mixed together, composing an intoxicating food symphony.

"Hmm! Hmm--"

Swallowing a big mouthful of black pepper beef rice ball in her mouth, Kelly patted her brother's shoulder excitedly:

"You are right! Adam's cooking skills are simply amazing-will he really open a store in Hogsmeade? When?"

"Oh, Kelly, don't pat my shoulder! The rice ball is going to fall apart! At least wait until after graduation!"

"Alas, why can't you graduate immediately?"

Kelly sighed regretfully.

Eugene and his grandmother both like fish, and teriyaki eel rice balls, which don't need to pick bones and are sweet, are very much to their taste.

"Oh my God, Adam, your cooking skills are even better than your parents!"

Old Reed also ate food made by his grandson for the first time.

"It's a pity that underage wizards can't cast spells at home, otherwise I can make more delicious food."

Adam sighed. It's a pity that his parents' home is not a place where wizards live in the Ministry of Magic, otherwise it doesn't matter if he casts spells at home.

"It's a pity that Uther is not here."

Cologne sighed regretfully:

"Speaking of which, do we have to eat Egyptian specialties when we go to Egypt? I don't think it will be as delicious as Adam's."

"But at least it's Egyptian, I'm looking forward to it."

Time passed quickly in the chat of everyone, and the plane that was delayed for two hours finally arrived at Cairo International Airport three hours later.

"Here~"

Adam and his family's flight information was not a secret to Uther's family, so they were waiting at the airport pick-up gate early.

The five people in the dormitory successfully met!

"Ah, so Uther, you dress like this at home."

Cologne looked at Uther and sighed.

"What's wrong?"

Uther looked at himself, it was a very common calasiris.

"Don't you wear... um..."

Cologne gestured around his head.

Uther's mouth twitched:

"How could I wear that kind of thing outside!"

Speechless about Cologne's fantasy, Uther shook his head:

"I'll take you to my house first. My parents are in the Ministry of Magic and won't be back until the evening."

"Okay~"

When he arrived at Uther's house, Cologne looked regretful again:

"I thought you would live in the pyramid..."

I didn't expect you would just live in a villa in the oasis?

"The pyramid is the tomb of the pharaoh, how could you live in it..."

Uther was speechless again and held his forehead.

"But pyramids are cool!"

"Would you sleep in a coffin just because it's cool?"

"Don't you have a mummy at home?"

"No! Who would keep a corpse at home?"

"I heard that mummies stuffed with spices shouldn't stink, right..."

"Is the point whether it stinks or not?!"

After an exhausting question and answer session, everyone finally came to the dining table.

"The dinner will be quite rich, so let's just eat some fruit first."

"Is this... a cactus fruit?"

Adam picked out an unripe but memorable fruit from a variety of fruits on the table.

"Yes, you can eat it after you cut it open. Eat the inside, it's similar to a pitaya."

Uther cut one open with a knife at hand, picked out an object with small thorns, and handed it to Adam:

"But there are these octagonal thorns on the head, you have to pick them out before you can eat them."

Adam took it and tasted it, his eyes lit up:

"Hmm!!! Very sweet, tastes great!"

Although the taste is not as delicate as a pitaya, and the seeds inside are harder, it tastes unexpectedly sweet.

"Hmm! Why is mine sour?"

Cologne put on a mask of pain.

"Oh, you have to pick this one too. It's impossible for every fruit to be sweet."

Uther looked innocent. When he arranged everyone to sit down, he definitely didn't deliberately let Cologne sit in the direction where there were more sour fruits.

"Generally, it tastes sour and sweet, very delicious."

After tasting the cactus fruit, everyone gave it a good review.

Considering that there were several elderly people at the table, Uther arranged for the servants to squeeze some fruits that were not convenient to chew into juice, such as sugar cane, and some fruits that were not convenient to eat, such as pomegranates.

In addition, there were various fruits such as dates and bananas, most of which were very sweet. The climate in Egypt is very suitable for growing fruits.

Adam remembered that one of the properties left to him by Nicolas Flamel was located in Egypt. He might as well go and see if there was any land that could be planted... But think about it, it's probably not there, and even if there was, Adam wouldn't have the time to take care of it.

Sure enough, fruits and other things are faster to change with Gan cards, and it seems that there is no need to change non-sweet fruits.

Although it was just some fruit, everyone ate a lot of it out of novelty. However, fruit is digested quickly, so it didn't delay dinner.

Uther's parents arrived late after the sun went down.

"Sorry, the department suddenly had some urgent documents to deal with today."

Uther's father looked apologetic:

"Sorry to have kept you waiting... Are you hungry? You don't have to wait for us to come back."

"It's okay. We ate a lot of fruit in the afternoon and we're not hungry."

The speaker was old Reed. Uther's father nodded to him in a friendly manner:

"Dinner will start soon. Before that, I want to thank..."

"Ahem!"

Uther's mother was a beauty with Egyptian makeup. When she heard her husband habitually going to start the Ministry of Magic's speech mode, she coughed twice.

"Oh! Hehe... Several children and Uther are roommates and good friends. Then we are all a family. Let's not talk too much. Let's eat, let's eat."

After speaking official language for so many years, I'm not used to talking about homely things. Just as the dishes were being served, Uther's father hurriedly invited everyone to eat.

"Although it's not as delicious as yours, it's still very special."

Uther and Adam's seats were close together, and he leaned close to Adam's ear and said.

"Then I must try it carefully, maybe you can also experience the delicious food from home in Hogwarts."

Adam smiled and said, Uther's eyes lit up:

"If you need ingredients, I can ask my father to send them to the British Ministry of Magic through the International Magical Cooperation Department, and then send them to Hogwarts!"

"...As long as you are happy."

Adam could only sigh that if you have money and power, you can really do whatever you want.

It must be said that the special food of Egypt does taste good, although the style is a bit rough. For example, a barbecue that looks a bit like miba miba is made by mixing minced meat and vegetable spices together. It doesn't look good, but it tastes surprisingly good.

There is also the grilled fish that must be mentioned. It is well handled, without any fishy smell of internal organs. It tastes great as long as you squeeze a little lemon juice. Adam and Eugene both enjoyed it very much.
